Theoretical discussion for"Fei Dan"as traditional Chinese medicine disease name of community-acquired pneumonia
Community-acquired pneumonia is a common infectious disease in clinical practice,with a high incidence and a serious threat to human health.Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.Although there are many traditional Chinese medicine disease names of this disease,such as"wind-warmth disease of lung-heat","cough","asthma syndrome","pulmonary abscess",it has not reached a consensus on the name.The newly released Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Terms clearly states that"Fei Dan"is a pulmonary disease characterized by cough,yellow and thick sputum,or blood in sputum,thirst,accompanied by fever,chest pain,constipation,and yellow urine.The author further sought ancient books and literatures,according to the clinical mani festations,etiology and pathogenesis of community-acquired pneumonia,and combined with clinical practice,to establish"Fei Dan"as the traditional Chinese medicine disease name of community-acquired pneumonia,which could reflect its history,characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis of disease and treatment,and it's more conducive to in-depth study of traditional Chinese medicine for community-acquired pneumonia.
